Hopeless: Job Corps Slams Door on 30,000 Young Adults
by Tony Lee
President Barack Obama campaigned last week to promote his plans for job training and job creation that he claimed would expand the country's middle class, fully aware that the Job Corps program had suspended enrollment in January due to gross bureaucratic mismanagement of the country's largest job-training program for low-income youths, particularly African Americans.
The freeze started in January and is expected to last until June 30. That did not stop Obama from making lofty promises in his State of the Union address last week about job creation.
Okay then..

New Regulation
Major Revision of Existing Regulation
Minor/Technical Revision of Existing Regulation
Reaffirmation of Existing Regulation
Repealed Regulation
ContentsA. Introduction H. Immediate Suspension B. Scope I. University Housing Removal C. Authority J. SanctionsD. Definitions K. Parental NotificationE. Violations L. AppealsF. Procedures M. RecordsG. Victim's Rights in the Conduct Process (A) Introduction The University of North Florida is committed to values that promote the welfare and positive transformation of individuals, communities, and societies. We value: the pursuit of truth and knowledge carried out in the spirit of intellectual and artistic freedom; ethical conduct; community engagement; diversity; responsibility to the natural environment; and mutual respect and civility. These values serve as the foundation for the Code of Student Conduct. In order to function effectively and to provide a climate in which all members can fulfill their personal, professional, social, and academic obligations, the University has established this Code for defining behavioral rights and responsibilities within this community. Students are responsible for knowing the information, policies and procedures outlined in this document. The University reserves the right to make changes to this code as necessary through the designated regulation revision process where the code will be circulated for student review and comments. Once those changes are adopted by the University Board of Trustees and posted online, they are in effect. Students are encouraged to check online [www.unf.edu] for the updated versions of all policies and procedures. Philosophy StatementThe UNF community is committed to fostering a campus environment that is conducive to academic inquiry, a productive campus life and thoughtful study and discourse. The student conduct program is committed to an educational and developmental process that balances the interests of individual students with the interests of the University community. A community exists on the basis of shared values and principles. At UNF, students are expected to uphold and abide by standards of conduct that form the basis of the Student Code of Conduct, as mentioned above. Each student of the University community bears responsibility for their conduct and is responsible for the behavior of their guests. When students fail to exemplify the University's six values by engaging in behavior that is not consistent with University policies and regulations, campus conduct proceedings are used to assert and uphold the Student Code of Conduct. The student conduct process at UNF is not intended to punish students; rather, it exists to protect the interests of the community and to challenge those whose behavior is not in accordance with the University's policies and regulations. Sanctions are intended to challenge students' moral and ethical decision-making and to help them bring their behavior into accord with our community expectations. When a student's behavior is in conflict with community expectations, the student conduct process may determine that the student should no longer share in the privilege of participating in this community.Students should be aware that the student conduct process is quite different from criminal and civil court proceedings. Student conduct procedures are conducted with fairness to all. Due process, as defined within these procedures, assures written notice and a hearing before an objective decision-maker. No student will be found in violation of the Student Code of Conduct without information showing that it is more likely than not that a violation occurred and any sanctions will be proportionate to the severity of the violation and to the cumulative conduct history of the student.The responsibility for this Code shall be administered through the Division of Student Affairs. (B) ScopeThe University of North Florida's jurisdiction regarding discipline of any student or student organization under this Student Code of Conduct extends to conduct that occurs both on UNF premises and anywhere off-campus that may adversely affect the University community. The Vice President for Student and International Affairs or designee determines when off-campus conduct affects a substantial University interest. A substantial University interest is defined to include:• Any situation where it appears that the student's conduct may present a danger or threat to the health or safety of self or others; and/or• Any situation that significantly impinges upon the rights, property or achievements of self or others or significantly breaches the peace and/or causes social disorder; and/or• Any situation that is detrimental to the educational mission and/or interests of the University.Additionally, the scope of this Student Code of Conduct extends to compliance with professional standards of conduct or ethics that students must adhere to as part of their studies, including, but not limited, to while performing external internships, placements or Transformational Learning Opportunities, while enrolled at UNF. The right of all students to seek knowledge, debate ideas, form opinions and freely express their ideas is fully recognized by UNF. The Student Code of Conduct may be applied to behavior conducted in writing, online, via email, text messaging or other electronic medium or mode of communication. Students should also be aware that online postings such as blogs, web postings, chats and social networking sites are in the public sphere and are not private. These postings can subject a student to allegations of conduct violations. The University does not regularly search for this information but may take action if and when such information is brought to the attention of University officials. Online speech will be protected as free expression and not subject to this Code, with the following limitation:• A threat a reasonable person would interpret as a serious expression of intent to inflict bodily harm upon specific individuals or the community.• Permissible time, place and manner restrictions where the University has the right to regulate speech.This Student Code of Conduct applies to student conduct and will not be used to discipline the lawful expression of ideas. The University student conduct process is not a criminal or judicial proceeding. Alleged violations of state and/or federal law are separate and pursued independently from alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct. (C) Authority 1. Authority for student conduct ultimately rests with the University President. The President delegates this authority to the Vice President for Student and International Affairs, or their designee. The Vice President may take direct jurisdiction of any case at any time throughout the process. 2. The Student Conduct Office will assume responsibility for coordinating the investigation of an allegation of misconduct to determine if the complaint has merit. 3. The Vice President for Student and International Affairs (or designee) has the authority to notify the person listed on the student's emergency contact (or other appropriate person) in case of an emergency involving that student. 4. All fraternity and sorority conduct matters that are violations of the Student Code of Conduct or University regulation will be reviewed by the Student Conduct Office and may be addressed by the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life in consultation with the Student Conduct Office. Organizations may be subject to further action by the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life working in conjunction with the organization's National Headquarters, or may be referred to the organization's pertinent council.5. All registered and non-registered student organizations, including those reporting through Club Alliance, an agency of Student Government, will be subject to the Student Code of Conduct.6. All matters where discipline is administered under the University conduct system through the Student Conduct Office, the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life - and/or decisions of respective fraternity or sorority council judicial boards, Student Housing and /or Club Alliance, an agency of Student Government, may be appealed to the Vice President for Student and International Affairs whose decision will be considered final University action. The Vice President for Student and International Affairs may appoint a designee or panel board to hear an appeal. Final appellate decisions resulting in a suspension or expulsion of a student will include notice to the student of the student's right to appeal to an external judicial forum 7. The Vice President for Student and International Affairs (or designee) has discretion to refer a complaint for mediation or other forms of appropriate conflict resolution. All parties must agree to participate in conflict resolution and if the parties reach an agreement at mediation regarding the issues in dispute the parties will be bound by the decision with no review/appeal. Any unsuccessful conflict resolution can be forwarded for formal processing and hearing; however, at no time will complaints of sexual misconduct be mediated. The Vice President for Student and International Affairs (or designee) may also suggest that complaints that do not involve a violation of the Student Code of Conduct be referred for mediation or other appropriate conflict resolution(D) Definitions 1.

University as Convener The University is the convener of every action under this code. Within that action, there are several roles. The responding student is the person who is alleged to have violated the code. The party bringing the complaint, who may be the University, an employee, a student, a visitor, or a guest, may choose to be present and participate in the process as fully as the responding student. There are witnesses, who may offer information regarding the allegation. There is an investigator(s) whose role is to present the allegations and share the evidence that the University has obtained regarding the allegations. 2. Group ViolationsA student group or organization and its officers and membership may be held collectively and individually responsible when violations of this code by the organization or its member(s):• Take place at events, whether participation or sponsorship is formal or informal; • Have received the consent or encouragement of the organi¬zation or of the organization's leaders or officers; or• Were known or should have been known to the membership or its officers. Hearings for student groups or organizations follow the same general student conduct procedures. In any such action, individual determinations as to responsibility will be made and sanctions may be assigned collectively and individually and will be proportionate to the involvement of each individual and the organization.3. Initiation of Charges Any member of the University community, visitor or guest may report alleged violation(s) by any student for misconduct under this code. Reports of alleged violations should be submitted to either the Student Conduct Office or University Police Department within a reasonable timeframe after the discovery of a possible violation of the Student Code of Conduct, except in extraordinary cases. Receipt of a report will result in an investigation of the incident. Based on the outcome of the investigation a determination will be made as to whether or not the student/group will be charged with a violation of the Student Code of Conduct or whether alternative action is appropriate. 4. Charge Letter. Upon receipt of the allegation, a determination will be made if reasonable cause exists and a charge letter will be issued to the student within 30 class days, except in extenuating circumstances. Charge letters are sent to students via their University of North Florida email account. Charge letters will include a statement of charges, sufficient detail outlining the allegations, and sources of information that support the charge(s). The charge letter will instruct the student to contact the Student Conduct Office within 5 class days of receipt of the letter to schedule a Conduct Review. Failure to contact the office will result in waiver of the conduct review. 5. Conduct review. The purpose of the Conduct Review is to provide the charged student with the opportunity to discuss the allegations and review the reports and materials that led to the referral. The hearing administrator will clarify the rights and options available, as well as describe a range of potential sanctions for the violation in question. The accused will have the option to state responsibility for the charge during the Conduct Review. If a student accepts responsibility for the violation during the conduct review the student can:a) choose to conclude the review by being sanctioned by the hearing administrator, who has been designated by the Vice President for Student and International Affairs to determine sanctions.b) can request an administrative or panel hearing at which time the student can present information including witnesses and character witness written statements to be considered for sanctioning. If the student does not accept responsibility for the violation during the conduct review, the student will have an opportunity to request the forum (administrative or panel hearing) in which the case will be heard. However, the Hearing Administrator may determine that it is in the best interest of both the student and the University that a case be heard by a panel based on the seriousness of the violation or in the interest of fairness. The hearing will be scheduled no sooner than 3 class days after the conduct review and generally no later than 14 class days after the conduct review at the discretion of the Hearing Administrator. a. At least 3 class days before the hearing the student and their advisor, if any, have the right to review all of the information that will be presented against the student. The University also has the right to review all information the charged student intends to use at least 3 class days before the hearing. This information includes: documentary evidence, physical evidence, and a list of witnesses that intend to be called by either party.b. Students may waive the conduct review. The conduct review (or hearing, if student chooses to waive the conduct review) must be scheduled within 5 class days from the date on the notice or at the discretion of the Hearing Administrator. Information gathered at the conduct review will be used at the subsequent administrative or panel hearing and can be shared accordingly. c. If a student fails to schedule or attend a conduct review, and 5 class days have expired since the date of the notice, the student waives their right to a conduct review. At that time, a formal hearing (either administrative or panel, which will be determined by the Hearing Administrator) may be scheduled in the student's absence at the discretion of the Hearing Administrator. The student will be notified of date and time. If the student fails to appear at the scheduled formal hearing and failed to provide notice to this effect, the hearing will be held in the student's absence and they may be charged with additional violations of the Code. d. The charged student may be accompanied during the conduct review by an advisor of their choice. It is the student's responsibility to make appropriate arrangements for the advisor to attend the review or hearing which shall not be delayed due to scheduling conflicts of the chosen advisor. Students are required to address the hearing body in person, on their own behalf, although they may consult with their advisor during the conduct review. This consultation must take place in a manner that does not disrupt the proceedings. The advisor shall not speak on behalf of the student unless expressly authorized to do so by the hearing body. If an attorney is to be the advisor, the charged student must notify the Hearing Administrator assigned to the case of the attorney's name and address at least two (2) class days prior to the conduct review. The advisor may be removed from the conduct review if it is determined that their presence is disruptive. NOTE:Holds. The Student Conduct Office may place a disciplinary hold on the records and registration of any student who fails to respond to a notice. Any pending disciplinary matters must be resolved prior to the awarding of any degree or certificate. Disciplinary notices will be sent to students electronically, using their Osprey e-mail account. If correspondence needs to be sent to an alternative address, the student's permanent address as contained in the University's Student Records will be used. 6. Types of Hearings.The purpose of a hearing is to provide an equitable forum for the party bringing charges against a student and the charged student to present their case regarding the alleged misconduct. The hearing authority will decide by the preponderance of evidence whether or not the charged student is responsible.There are two types of hearings, administrative and panel hearings. Students may choose between an administrative or panel hearing. However, the Hearing Administrator may determine that it is in the best interest of both the student and the University that a case be heard by a panel based on the seriousness of the violation or in the interest of fairness. When two or more individual cases stem from the same incident, those cases may be heard jointly if the students waive the right to individual hearings. In these situations, sanctions (if any) will be communicated separately. Alleged pending violations from multiple incidents may be addressed in a single hearing.a. Administrative HearingThe charged student meets individually with a Hearing Administrator who reviews the reported charges against the student and all other relevant information to determine whether a charged student is "responsible" or "not responsible," for the charge(s). b. Panel HearingThe charged student meets with the student conduct board. The panel will be comprised of a minimum 50% student to faculty/staff ratio. The panel will review information and determine whether a student is "responsible" or "not responsible".A hearing administer is present at each panel hearing to ensure that the student code of conduct procedures are followed. The hearing administrator will answer procedural questions asked by the panel, the party bring charges, or charged student. The hearing administrator will also keep the proceedings focused on issues relevant to the specific allegations. The hearing administrator will not participate in a determination of a finding or sanction. However, the administrator may be summoned by a deliberating panel to answer questions regarding the judicial process.7. Hearing Procedures: a. Hearings will be scheduled no sooner than three class days from the Conduct Review (unless requested by the student), no later than fourteen (14) class days, or at the discretion of the hearing Administrator.b. If a student waives a Conduct Review, either voluntarily or involuntarily the Hearing Administrator will provide the charged student with a brief overview of the hearing and general conduct process before the hearing. c. The hearing administrator will explain each party's rights and options and assure that fairness and due process are observed throughout the hearing.d. All Student Conduct hearings will be closed to the public and may include the person(s) bringing allegations against a student(s), the charged student(s), advisors, Hearing Administrators, alleged victim(s), and any witnesses who may offer relevant information regarding the allegation. Witnesses may only be present during the time they are testifying. e. A student charged with violation(s) of the Code of Conduct will have the opportunity to present information on their behalf, including presenting witnesses, if available, and/or signed written statements from witnesses, and other documentary evidence. The charged student has the opportunity to review and respond to written statements and may offer evidence to rebut witness statements and other evidence presented at the hearing. Witness statements are entitled to be given the same consideration by the hearing body as live witness testimony. Witness statements need not be sworn or in affidavit form.f. The charged student, alleged victim, and any witnesses may be accompanied during the hearing by an advisor of their choice. It is the respective party's responsibility to make appropriate arrangements for their advisor to attend the review or hearing which shall not be delayed due to scheduling conflicts of the chosen advisor. Students, alleged victims, and witnesses are required to address the hearing body in person, on their own behalf, although they may consult with their advisor during the hearing. This consultation must take place in a manner that does not disrupt the proceedings. The advisor shall not speak on behalf of their party unless expressly authorized to do so by the hearing body. The charged student, alleged victim, and witnesses shall provide the advisor's name in writing to the Student Conduct Office two (2) class days prior to the hearing. If an advisor is an attorney, the respective party must notify the Hearing Administrator assigned to the case of the attorney's name and address. An advisor may be removed from the hearing if it is determined that their presence is disruptive. The advisor may not serve as a witness.g. Witnesses may be called by the University, the party bringing allegations against the charged student(s), and the charged student(s). The party bringing the allegation, the charged student, and the panel will have the privilege of questioning all present witnesses and questioning all present parties (directly or through the Hearing Administrator, at the discretion of the Hearing Administrator). Witnesses appear at hearings on a voluntary basis and cannot be compelled to attend a hearing. h. A student may choose not to answer any and all questions posed by a hearing body. i. The University is not required to postpone disciplinary proceedings pending the outcome on any criminal prosecution. If a student chooses not to participate or answer questions during the conduct review or hearing, the Hearing Body may proceed with a hearing and base its decision on all available information. j. The student does not have the burden of proof regarding the charges that have been brought against them. A determination of responsibility is based on preponderance of evidence; that is if the information provided at the hearing, as a whole, shows that it is more likely than not that the student committed the violation. k. In cases involving multiple students charged, information provided at one hearing may be used in the related case(s). l. Information obtained during a hearing may result in the adjustment of the original charges. m. If the charged student fails to appear at the scheduled hearing after proper notice, the hearing may be held in the charged student's absence.n. Prior records of disciplinary action, past criminal convictions, impact statements and character witness statements are considered by the hearing body only in the sanctioning phase of deliberations. o. The hearing body's determination of "responsible" or "not responsible" will be based on the information presented at the hearing. p. After the hearing is concluded, the Hearing Body will provide a recommendation of responsibility and potential sanction to a designee of the Vice President for Student and International Affairs.q. The Vice President for Student and International Affairs may select a designee to review the Hearing Body's recommendation regarding responsibility and sanctions, and make an official decision. The designee may adopt, modify or reject the recommended decision and sanctions, or remand for a rehearing. Any differences between the Hearing Body and official decision, and the reasons therefore, will be communicated to the student in writing.r. All hearing decisions will be communicated in writing to the charged student within fourteen (14) class days from the conclusion of the hearing process. The decision letter will include the rationale, the hearing decision, and sanction(s) imposed (if applicable). This time limit may be extended if necessary where additional consideration of evidence and deliberation is required. The student will be informed (by phone, email, mail or in person) of the estimated duration of this extended time period. s. All hearings will be recorded. This recording will serve as the official record of the proceedings.8. Hearing GuidelinesThe following order of presentation is recommended for use in hearings. The hearing body or hearing administrator may change the order if necessary: a. The hearing body will explain the accused's rights and options and assure that fairness and due process will be observed throughout the hearing.b. The hearing body will outline the charges.c. Both the University and charged student will be given the opportunity to make an opening statement highlighting the main points of their case.d. The University will then present its side of the case followed by a presentation by the charged student. Case presentations may include statements, evidence, and witnesses. Only one witness at a time will be present at the hearing and each witness will be dismissed by the Hearing Administrator after questioning.e. Both sides will be questioned by the hearing body and will have an opportunity to question one another and witnesses present. Questions will be monitored by the hearing administrator.f. Following case presentations, the University and then the charged student may summarize their case.g. The victim will be given the opportunity to submit a sealed, written statement of impact to be considered in the event the charged student is found in violation of the offense and then will be excused from the hearing prior to deliberation. h. The charged student will be given the opportunity to provide written character witness statements to be considered in the event the charged student is found in violation of the offense and then will be excused from the hearing prior to deliberation.i. The hearing body will go into closed session to determine by the preponderance of evidence whether the accused will be found in violation of the student code of conduct. Panel boards determine findings by majority vote.(G) Victim's Rights in the Conduct Process
1. Victim's rights apply to the following types of cases (refer to Victim Services section of the Student Handbook): a. Sexual Misconduct b. Endangerment c. Harassment d. Hazing e. Bullying2. Victims have the following rights regarding these types of violations: a. To have the University complete a thorough, prompt, equitable and effective investigation and take action to remediate any findings under of section(G)(1) a through e within 60 days of the initial report, except under unusual circumstances.
b. To have an advisor of the alleged victim's choice accompany them when presenting information to the hearing body and to any other relevant meetings held throughout the disciplinary process. An advisor, however, may not speak on behalf of the student or take any other active role in the conduct process. c. To submit a victim impact statement to the hearing body. If the charged student is found responsible for the charge(s), this information would be used only in the sanctioning phase of deliberations. If the charged student appeals the decision on the basis of severity of the sanction imposed, they will have the right to view the victim impact statement upon request. d. To have unrelated past behavior excluded from the hearing. The Hearing Administrator will decide if such information is unrelated. The past sexual history of the alleged victim is not usually considered relevant. e. To be present throughout the hearing, or portions thereof. This option will be offered only by the Hearing Administrator. f. To question the charged party and any witnesses in attendance (directly or through the Hearing Administrator, at the discretion of the Hearing Administrator). If the victim is not going to attend the hearing, they may submit questions to the Hearing Administrator prior to the hearing. The Hearing Administrator will then consider posing these questions to identified witnesses or the charged student.g. At the request of a victim in cases involving sexual misconduct, physical violence or stalking charges, the alleged victim may request to present their side of the alleged conduct violation in a separate room from the charged student so long as the process does not unduly compromise the charged student's right to question the witness. h. A victim of an alleged offense set forth in this section has the ability to request that the Vice President for Student and International Affairs (or designee) review a Hearing Body's finding of the charged students responsibility for a violation of the Student Code of Conduct. Should the Vice President for Student and International Affairs (or designee) grant the appeal request, they will assign someone to hear the appeal other than the person who initially heard the case and/or determined the charged student's sanction. A victim choosing to request an appeal must do so in writing to the Student Conduct Office within five class days of the date on the decision letter. Supporting documentation should accompany all appeal requests. An appeal request must be based on one or more of the following grounds: • Errors in the hearing proceedings that substantially affected the outcome of the hearing. • The sanction(s) is (are) extraordinarily disproportionate to the violation committed. • New information that was not available at the time of the original hearing that substantially affected the outcome of the hearing. For more information on the appeal process please see (L) Appeals 2-3.i. To have any personal property returned to them if in current possession of the University. The determination of when this property is to be returned is left to the discretion of the Hearing Administrator. j. To be notified of the outcome in writing, including both the decision and the sanctions of the disciplinary process at the same time notification is made to the accused student, except in extraordinary circumstances. k. Upon request, the University will disclose the results of any disciplinary proceeding by the University against the student who has been accused of any crime of violence or a non-forcible sex offense to the next of kin, if the victim is deceased. (H) Immediate Suspension In certain circumstances involving a student's actions that may affect the safety, health, or general welfare of the student or University community, (including, but not limited to violations of drug possession and/or intent to distribute, sexual misconduct, endangerment, harassment, and weapons possession) the Vice President for Student and International Affairs may impose an immediate University suspension prior to the student's hearing with a hearing body. An immediate suspension means a student cannot be on University property, cannot attend classes, and cannot use University facilities. 1. An immediate suspension requires the student be notified in writing. Notification will be sent to the student's official UNF email account. 2. The student has the opportunity to appeal the immediate suspension. Request for appeal must be submitted to the Student Conduct Office within three class days of the student's receipt of the notice of suspension. The date of the immediate suspension appeal may be extended beyond three class days if both parties agree that the suspension appeal should be held at a later date. Appeal hearings are conducted in the form of a panel hearing. The appeal panel will determine whether the immediate suspension will remain in effect until a regular hearing is held on the actual violations of the Code. The appeal must be based on one of the following: a. An egregious error pertaining to the student's involvement. b. Contention that the violation, even if proven, does not pose a threat to the safety, health, or general welfare of the University community and thus does not warrant a suspension. 3. The panel may consist of any number of individuals as long as it maintains 50% representation from the student population. The decision resulting from the panel appeal hearing is final. 4. Formal disciplinary charges will normally be filed at the completion of all investigations or as soon thereafter as possible. 5. Student organizations may be suspended by the Vice President for Student and International Affairs in circumstances involving actions related to that group that may affect the safety, health, or general welfare of its members, the University community, or others. The affected group has the right to a prompt administrative appeal hearing as described in subsection 2 above. An immediate suspension of a student organization means all activities, programs, social events, funding requests, and budget expenditures are suspended. One exception is that fraternities and sororities may be allowed to conduct business meetings provided they notify and receive permission from the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life in advance and the meeting is attended by an advisor recognized by the University. (I) Removal from University Housing A student resident may be immediately removed from their University Housing assignment, have their housing contract cancelled and be prohibited from visiting the housing areas prior to the student's conduct hearing with a hearing body. The Vice President for Student and International Affairs, or designee, must approve any such removal of a student as described in this section. (J) Sanctions 1. A sanction is the University's educational response to address student behavior when a student has been found responsible for violations of the Student Code of Conduct. Sanctions will be determined by the Vice President for Student and International Affairs (or designee) after their review of the Hearing Body's decision that a student is responsible for the reported conduct charges.2.

Students must comply with all recommendations established as a result of any assessment. e. Restitution. Payment of actual damages or loss of services to the University or victim. f. Disciplinary Probation. A period of time during which any further violation of the Student Code of Conduct puts the student's status with the University in jeopardy.

A student may also forfeit academic credit accordingly and must see their professor to determine the impact on grades based on the withdrawal. Students who are excluded from living in University Housing must contact the Director of Housing Operations to determine the financial impact of the canceled contract.3. Sanctions for Groups: The following sanctions may be imposed upon groups or organizations found to have violated the Student Code of Conduct: a. Those sanctions listed in Section 2 above. Suspension or Expulsion of student organizations includes temporary or permanent loss of recognized status with the University. b. Additional sanctions specific to student organizations are found in fraternity, sorority and other organizational constitutions, in the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life and Club Alliance, an agency of Student Government's policies, which are hereby incorporated by reference. 4. Any sanction that separates a student from the University will be noted on that student's academic transcript. A lesser sanction may not be noted on the transcript. 5.

A student has the ability to request that the Vice President for Student and International Affairs (or designee) review a hearing body's finding that the student is responsible for a violation of the Student Code of Conduct. A student choosing to request an appeal must do so in writing to the Student Conduct Office within five class days of the date on the decision letter.

Expulsion records will be permanently retained as official records. Any records kept beyond these limits for statistical purposes will not be considered or released as official student conduct records.5. A student's prior disciplinary record will be considered only during the sanctioning phase of deliberations, not to determine whether or not to find a student "responsible" or "not responsible" for the alleged violation. 6. The release of student disciplinary records will be governed by applicable Federal and State laws regarding the privacy of educational records. 7. Student Conduct Record Forgivenessa. A student's conduct record is eligible to be reviewed and forgiven if the incident(s) in question are minor and did not result in suspension or expulsion and where further violations would not likely result in suspension or expulsion from the university. Students with Senior status (90 credits or above) may submit a request to have their records forgiven. b.

Yii power site for service company. Can I call it ERP?
Posted 02 April 2012 - 10:43 AM
I am working on this app for a year now
I call it ERP but not sure it is the right name for the app
The site is prepared as empty site and sure quite a few bugs here and there
Any suggestion would be welcome

//edt Sorry Da:Sourcerer for not mention this earlier
//edt Could anyone tell me how fast does it load on your computer? I just get this new VPS and not sure how fast it would be
Posted 02 April 2012 - 10:46 AM
//edt: All good now

Btw: I believe yii belongs into /usr/local/share and not /usr/local/lib.
Posted 02 April 2012 - 12:00 PM
Could you clarify a bit more on "the interface is a bit rough on the edges". I am the coder, not designer, so I use original Yii theme, but expand a bit.
The technicians are my testers but besides keep track of their times, checking on if the boss approved their worked time or not, they don't really care any thing else so I guess they did not encounter with exception
Anyway, I have moved yii, and will create some quote/job tomorrow to make it more lively
Posted 02 April 2012 - 01:16 PM
Posted 02 April 2012 - 02:23 PM
And while we're at it: Do you make use of Yii's validation system past the require-validator?
Posted 02 April 2012 - 08:24 PM
This app does have hardware allocated to task, how many technician working on task and total working time for each technician on any single task. This app, according to the boss, is 80% of what he wanted.
@Da:Sourcerer I am the only coder, do everything from scratch, and I work on this app according to what the boss want me to do, plus first time with MVC framwork and Yii . I admit that I do have some text fields on boolean values, probably copy and paste or change database design, I have to go back and check them all, with proper default value. Thanks for pointing that out.
I don't make use of Yii's validation system. I have problems with it since I start and don't use it at all (or I was very inexperience with Yii a year ago ). Probably I need to go back and review about it.

Also for login page you should use separate layout.
Posted 04 April 2012 - 01:26 PM
As a recommendation, you shouldn't show the encrypted password in the acounts/update form.

@ Ivica & Da:Sourcerer: You two mentioned about Yii validation system, do you meant model rules or ajax validation part or both? I have taken care of the fields in the controller but the boss does not want pop up message, so I have ignored quite a few condition handling cases.
Thank you for your feed backs

You can give a more polished look to the admin interface without much effort. Actually I just made a demo application this morning on how to use twitter's bootstrap using Crisu83's bootstrap extension and some other stuff. I'll be sharing it tonight, once I upload it to my webpage.
Right now you can get the sources at my bitbucket repository

There are several DropDown menu extensions available which will tidy up the top menu bar and give you back a lot of space.
Overall your site looks pretty good. If it works for your company and your boss and users are happy then that is the most important thing.

I did look at the extension as well as how to do RBAC, but I think it was overkill.
Now, I have been bombarded with changing user permission on certain functions
I have sent email to boss this morning to ask his permission for me to add that in after I finish with redone the quote interface. Thanks to mauriciorivera, now I have to spend more time to make the page nicer (not the whole app yet)

Residence Inn Phoenix Will Host a RI-Fresh Party to Share Renovations With Local Community
Residence Inn Phoenix Will Host a RI-Fresh Party to Share Renovations With Local Community
PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - Feb 11, 2013) - To celebrate the New Year, the Residence Inn Phoenix is unveiling a new look, giving new meaning to the traditional hotel room. The Refreshed, Grand Canyon University hotel will share its new upscale look and feel to city officials and members of local businesses.
While the unveiling will bring many pleasant surprises, clients and guests of this extended-stay hotel in north Phoenix have been kept in the loop of all the changes with the hotel's LEGO project.
At the start of the renovation, the hotel informed clients of the work in progress by delivering a package of LEGOs with directions for them to start building. As the renovations of its public spaces and hotel rooms in Phoenix started to take shape, clients were sent additional pieces to expand their own projects. Those who toured the property got special LEGO pieces to add to their buildings.
Those attending the RI-fresh unveiling party will be bringing their LEGO projects along, and guests will vote on the best creation. The winner will receive a weekend stay at the Residence Inn Carlsbad, tickets to LEGOLAND and a gas card. All of the LEGO creations will be donated to Butterfly House, a Phoenix area non-profit that's 100% volunteer run and provides support, assistance, empowerment, counseling and more to victims and survivors of domestic violence.
Ninety percent of the renovations are already complete, and Marriott Rewards® members can get a sneak peak when booking exclusive hotel deals in Phoenix. With this special offer, available for a limited time through March 31, 2013, Marriott Rewards members can earn 500 bonus points per night when they stay Friday through Sunday nights. To book, visit the hotel website, or call 1-800-MARRIOTT from within the US. Make sure the promotional code M11 appears when booking online, or request it when making phone reservations.

Bulldogs can't block out line problems
While sitting in his office this spring Mississippi State's offensive line coach John Hevesy explained a very simple philosophy for reviewing game tape.
"It's never as good as you thought but on the other side it's never as bad as you would think either," Hevesy said the day after a spring practice.
The Bulldogs offensive line may be leaning on the latter of that comment after two straight weeks of punishment for the quarterback and in the case of last Saturday, five turnovers in the passing game.
"We talked about it (Sunday) – they're just not communicating very well," Mullen said. "Everybody is kind of taking care of themselves instead of taking care of the line."
For an offensive line that has only allowed five total sacks and just over six tackles for a loss per game, the coaching staff has been especially concerned about the lack of communication that's led to constant quarterback abuse among a group that returned four starters from 2009.
Four of the five starters from last year returned for what was assumed would be the strength of an offensive unit as the skill position players develop around them. The visual evidence of this point couldn't be addressed more precisely than in the first three games of the 2010 season.
During the win against Memphis, MSU quarterbacks Chris Relf and Tyler Russell were upright and able to connect for five touchdown passes. However, Saturday's 29-7 loss at LSU was the complete opposite as the signal calling duo was under pressure from the opening possession and committed five turnovers as a result. "Obviously, in all of our minds we should be 3-0 right now, but aren't," senior offensive tackle Derrek Sherrod said. "So therefore we have to put it out of our minds so that we can concentrate on these last nine games coming up."
The Bulldogs depth chart doesn't have any changes in the starting five up front because MSU's coaching staff can point to the one scoring drive with that group for positive reinforcement.
"I think on our 13-play drive where we scored (Saturday) night, nine of those plays all five offensive lineman graded with an S [satisfactory grade]," Mullen said. "I don't know what it is – it's consistent across the board. A lot of it comes with leadership."
In the last two games, MSU (1-2, 0-2 in Southeastern Conference) has come out of the halftime break and controlled the line of scrimmage with scoring drives. Mullen suggested Monday that fact was more of a reflection on the veteran presence up front than a coaching switch in the locker room.
"A lot of that is leadership," Mullen said. "We need some guys to get up and talk more. We have some great senior leaders by example (but) we need some senior leaders that are vocal, stand up and communicate what needs to go on."
MSU tight end injuries still a mystery
There was a popular four-wood refrain Monday when senior tight end Brandon Henderson met with reporters at the Bryan Building.
"My knee is fine," Henderson said.
Mullen said Sunday Henderson was the only injury coming out of the LSU loss that needed to be evaluated by the MSU medical staff before announcing his status for this week's game against Georgia.
Henderson, who was seen walking gingerly on the sidelines late Saturday night with a brace on his left knee, was starting at LSU in place of junior Marcus Green. The senior didn't register a catch Saturday night against LSU and third-string tight end Kendrick Cook caught the only pass by a non-wide receiver all game long.
Mullen reiterated to the media Monday that Relf would be his starting quarterback and said he'll have a better understanding Tuesday if either of his injured tight ends (Green and Henderson) would play or start this Saturday night.
"They both ran yesterday out of practice," Mullen said.
The senior wouldn't comment on whether he'd received an MRI scan this past weekend or what was on the medical report given to the Bulldogs coaching staff or when the injury actually occurred against LSU.
"My knee is feeling pretty good right now so we'll just take it from there," Henderson said. "I think I played a play after (the injury) but it's in the past now and I'm looking forward to Georgia."
Green, who did not meet with the media again Monday, did not make the trip with the team for its first road game of the season.
Green is still recovering from an injury to his right knee that kept him out of the second half of MSU's 17-14 home loss to Auburn Thursday night.
Diaz very familiar with Georgia offense
Mississippi State's defensive coordinator Manny Diaz should be confident he knows the style Georgia will attempt to execute.
He coached with Georgia head coach Mark Richt, and essentially against him on the same staff for two years at Florida State.
While Diaz was a graduate assistant on the defensive side of the ball, Richt was in the process of coaching his second Heisman Trophy winner in Chris Weinke to the national championship game.
Despite being one of seven head coaches in Division 1 football to win 90 or more games in his first nine seasons, Richt has been the subject of criticism since not returning to the SEC Championship game since 2005.
"One thing I respect about coach Richt is the class he runs that program with," Diaz said. "He is steady as she goes. People love him for it and sometimes you don't but to me that's what you want – that steady hand in a job that important."
In those five years, the league has seen a dramatic shift in spread option offense that include what Mississippi State will run under Dan Mullen but Richt's style at Georgia is a now unique pro-style I-formation gameplan that focuses on the downhill running game that sets up a vertical passing attack.
"They're going to run the football and that is their number one deal to be a physical running team that loves the play action pass," Mullen said. "Usually, most teams which are a power running team are going to take shots on the play action pass."

Event Date: October 31 – November 4, 2018
XC Benefits for IRONMAN Florida Include:
Additional On-Site Benefits Include:
SWIM (2.4 Miles):
The two-loop swim takes place in the Gulf of Mexico. Athletes will have a short beach run in between laps. The chop can be strong and tinted goggles are recommended to block out the rising sun.
BIKE (112 Miles):
The single-lap course is flat and fast. The highest point on the course is only 161 feet above sea level, and the winds tend to be light. Expect a fast bike-split, and be prepared to stay in your aerobars.
RUN (26.2 Miles):
This is one of the flattest runs on the Ironman circuit. Spectators fill the roads on the two-loop course, which parallels the shoreline through the local neighborhoods to the turnaround in Saint Andrews State Park. The sun sets early this time of year, so you may need to toss a long-sleeve shirt into your special needs bag.

Find out how to distinguish amoung the varieties of laminating, the films on the market today and learn what criteria to consider when matching overlaminates with your applications.
• Floor graphics—A 5-mil matte vinyl provides for short-term floor graphics with good slip resistance and protection against the wear and tear of foot traffic and floor cleaners. (See industry standard ASTM D2047 for more information on static coefficient of friction requirements for floor graphics.)
Polycarbonate Polycarbonate is found in 5-, 10- and 15-mil thicknesses and used where stiffness and durability are the key variables in the finished graphic. Two main applications for this material include the following:
• Trade-show graphics—Typically 10- and 15- mil products are used for the walls and 5-mil is used for the headers where improved flexibility is required for tight curves. The stiffness found in polycarbonate allows trade-show graphics to fit the curve of display frames. The adhesive must also be extremely cohesive (no separation) when the graphic is repeatedly rolled up for shipping. The finish is mostly a textured finish to avoid glare from the bright lighting often found in exhibit halls.
• Floor graphics—Typically 5-mil film is used. This tough, durable film is ideal for graphics requiring longer-term durability in high traffic areas or areas with heavy machinery (Figure 4).
Polyester Polyester is another common facestock for pressure-sensitive laminating films. It also is one of the most expensive. Polyester provides the best clarity and is commonly used for high-end displays found in museums, airports, or anywhere premium graphic quality is essential. However, unlike its counterpart (vinyl), polyester tends to scratch easily and would not necessarily be recommended in places where it will be touched a lot or walked on.
Polypropylene The final face-stock we will discuss is polypropylene, which has a very specific quality that makes it appealing—it provides a "dry-erase" surface for easy marking and erasing. This film is often used on menu boards and courtroom graphics to temporarily mark crime-scene photos or maps.
Thermal laminating films
Thermal laminating films offer you many of the same qualities as pressure-sensitive films (i.e., protection against UV light, glare, fingerprints, oils), while adding rigidity, depth, and color vibrancy. However, the method by which the film is applied and the construction of the films differ.

The health plan for teachers union members in Buffalo, NY apparently includes liposuction and nose jobs – and we pay for all of it.
As CNN reports:
The sweet deal that all the 3,400 teachers in Buffalo are eligible to get under one of their insurance plan options, they are billed nothing for any plastic surgery procedure, such as botox, liposuction, tummy tucks, and there is no deductible …. Last year, Buffalo's schools spent $5.9 million on plastic surgery which is also known as a cosmetic rider. And Buffalo teachers have had this rider for nearly four decades …. Now you might think Buffalo's school district must be flush with cash to be offering perks like free plastic surgery, right? Wrong. Louis Petrucci, the president of the Buffalo Board of Education says he is projecting a $42 million deficit in next year's school budget.
Now, we all love our teachers. But the fact is that teachers unions – and the contracts they negotiate with the politicians they elect – are greedy, cash-sucking vampires. That's why the teachers unions in Los Angeles decided that it would be better to let the Los Angeles Unified School District fire 5,000 teachers than it would be to allow their benefits to be cut. Now, whom does that benefit? It benefits the teachers who stay employed, obviously – but it doesn't help the ones who get fired, and it certainly doesn't benefit children, whom we have been told require more and better teachers, not fewer, older, and worse. LAUSD spends an almost unbelievable $30,000 per child – and has some of the worst educated children in the nation. That's no coincidence. That's the teachers unions.
Most of all, it benefits the union bosses, who get to charge higher dues so long as they exact higher benefits from the state. Then they use those dues to help elect their friends, whom they press to hand over more taxpayer dollars. It's a beautiful system. The only losers are us and our children.
